What I was wearing at my cousin’s birthday party

Wishing everyone a Merry X-mas!

Hey everyone!

How are you guys doing?

I’m good and I’m enjoying my holidays. Haven’t really worked on a blogpost, but I wanted to wish everyone visiting my blog a Merry X-mas!

I’ll show you my Christmas presents which I had bought for myself. First, I had ordered a pair of cute Hello Kitty indoor slippers from Avon. These are one of the newest indoor slippers from Avon and they’re very soft and comfy.

The second gift I bought is a pretty little friend from my sweet friend Andjenie. I met Andjenie a few months back, and she inspires me a lot. Although she wasn’t able to complete her study at the university, she has lots of talents which she uses to earn some extra income. Making beautiful bouquets and selling flower plants is one of the talents that she possesses. What I bought from Andjenie is a flowerplant named Phytonia in the Christmas colors red and white. My little friend had travelled all the way from campus to my home in the bus along with me. I have almost zero knowledge of flowers and I don’t really have green hands, so I had asked Andjenie lots of questions about how to take care of my Phytonia. I actually even didn’t know that this flower is called Phytonia; maybe it has some other name in English; have to search it up.

I’ve planted my Phytonia in a bigger pot and she’s swinging along with my mom’s Orchids in a tree. For now, she’s looking pretty healthy and I hope that she will bear lots of beautiful flowers. Everyday I pay her a visit to examine her and for a ‘hi’ and ‘hello’, cause it’s said that plants grow better when you talk to them.

I’m going to see if there’s anything interesting on television now. Tomorrow, I’m going to my aunt’s birthday party, so I think that I’ll have a wonderful time out there.

Enjoy your Christmas everyone!

Hugs



Nail trends I’ve tried

Hey everyone!

How have you guys been doing? I’ve missed you guys a lot! I didn’t post anything out here for some time, because I was busy working on blog posts for my blog TAKE A LOOK... ;

you can download free Quick Pages and/or participate in the giveaways if you guys are interested. It’s a bit difficult for me to do more then one post weekly. But this week I’ve been working on two posts.

I last tried two of this year’s nail trends: Laced Nails and Newspaper nails, which I’m sharing with you guys in this quick post.

Cut out a piece of lace in the shape of your nails and stick it on your topcoat.

Cut out a piece of newspaper in the shape of your nails, then apply clear nail polish and stick the piece of newspaper on your nails. Do use a good quality nail polish; the newspaper letters don’t stick well enough on nail polish that isn’t thick enough. Let the nail polish dry completely and then remove the newspaper and clean it up from your nails with water.

My favorite of these two are the Newspaper Nails. Cutting the lace in the shape of my nails is a bit difficult for me. When you try out the Newspaper Nails, you don’t have to cut the newspaper in the exact shape of your nails.

Which of the two nail trends do you guys like most?

Hugs and kisses,

Sharda

Hey everyone!!!

I have something special for you guys today. A few days ago, I was contacted by Liz Gardner from the company My Memories and she offered me a free digital scrapbooking software worth $40 and a FREE GIVEAWAY for my blog visitors! I actually was thinking of a giveaway for my rocking visitors, and like magic I got the perfect gift for you guys sponsored by My Memories. It’s an international giveaway, so everyone from all over the world of any age can participate in this giveaway. The lucky winner will receive the My Memories Suite Version 2.0 digital scrapbooking software for free. You do need to have internet to download and install this software on your PC or Mac. I’ve been thinking of placing a headline banner on my blog for a long time, but because of the daily rush, I didn’t get the chance to create one. Now I can create a banner in a fast and easy way with this software. I’m happy with my gift and excited, cause this is my first giveaway.;)

My Memories Suite Version 2 is Amazon’s #1 rated digital scrapbooking software. You can share your My Memories Suite software through print sharing as well as through multimedia sharing. It’s a great help in creating professional looking cover pages of essays, digital baby books, calendars, cards, etc.  It has some cool features; like you can let the text follow a shape or you can add video and/or sound along with your photo at one page. I haven’t tried out the video and sound feature yet, but I’ll try to post a scrapbook page with video and/or sound out here on my blog sometime. To know more about this software, check out the YouTube video at http://www.youtube.com/user/MyMemoriesSuite.

I had installed this software yesterday on my laptop and had created these scrapbook pages using my younger sister’s pictures first. I’ve replaced those pictures with some view pictures I had taken of the city of Paramaribo and with pictures of two of my favorite Bollywood actresses.:) You can create a digital scrapbook page and use it as many times as you like; the pictures can be changed within seconds.;) I’ve used digital freebies from online as well to create my scrapbook pages.



The rules for the My Memories Suite Version 2.0 giveaway are:

1.      Tell your friends about the free My Memories digital scrapbooking software giveaway on my blog http://creative-d-zine.blogspot.com  through your facebook wall or tweet about it on twitter.
